Going on week three of immense thumb pain anytime I use my phone. It’s interfering with my work flow but also making me not want to use my phone. Overall net loss. Proof the phone isn’t the problem, but how we use it.

Whenever you wake up, it will be morning.

The recurring concern is how to become more fully involved in being alive: to notice more, question inherited meanings, love without demanding permanence, and carry insight into ordinary experience. Two minds exist in harmony. One accepts an indifferent and absurd universe and makes meaning through participation. The other senses divine orchestration, connectedness and a larger intelligence. The difference doesn't need to be settled, magic seems to happen where the two intersect. Resist nihilism. Identity is forged in action but a lack of predetermined purpose can also leave room for freedom, creativity and expression. Examine the rules for what makes a life worthwhile and continue to love and act without first resolving existence. Temporary actions change lives. Humor, beauty, curiosity, and love make room for engagement even when existence does not offer a satisfactory explanation. Reason can orient a life. Passion is central. It need not be theatrical or publicly visible. Everything may be cosmically insignificant, yet how you live and treat people still matters profoundly. Play more, you're already dead. You have one life, has it made you rigidly serious or has it made joy too important to postpone?

readiness is complicated

how does attention change the depth felt by a day

curiosity, willingness to be inexperienced, play, responsiveness to beauty and enthusiasm for discovering what happens next

Once you realize making money is a skill and spiritual as fuck you will start seeing macro cycles, market trends and early stage opportunities no differently than listening to the hums and vibrations of the of the universe.

What steps can be skipped? When is it not a shortcut? Was anything I’ve done even necessary? I think about this often.

The universe doesn’t want you to get a job
